Abstract

A Monte Carlo calculation of diffuse scattered intensity of p-polarized light from a randomly rough Ag grating shows enhancement in the backward direction, as predicted in perturbation theory by the selective summation of maximally crossed diagrams for the resonantly excited surface polaritons.
